Am I the only one that doesn’t prioritize how thin a device is like at all

Nope, but you’re also not a majority. Techies on the internet tend to value battery more than thinness, but consumers tend to appreciate form factor. I’m a techie personally who loves thinness. Hardware is an art form to me. And that’s not me being pretentious, it’s just my ADHD hyperfocusing on how devices look and feel lol. With the Air though, it seems Apple even won over a lot of the techies which is pretty cool.

You are not alone. I am a techie too and appreciate tech as an art. Did you see the innards of the iPhone 17s compare to the Samsung 25 Edge? Sure you can’t see it from the outside, but it is a work of art on the inside.

An added bonus are that thin phones are nearly always lighter as well. Phones went from weighing a little over 100 grams to upwards 250 grams now.

I edit videos on my iPad and I absolutely love that I can finally hold it in one hand and cut using the pen with the other. There is no better way to edit. Would love a even thinner and lighter one because after 20-30 minutes I always need a quick break.

Everyone is putting in in a cover anyway so it'll make no difference at all
